I need HELP spawing a covenant watchtower!

Post by merriam »

Step 1

Go into a map that has the Covie Watchertower in it and tranfer these two machinary[mach] tag tags to the map you want to spawn it in.

scenarios\objects\covenant\military\cov_watchtower \cov_watchtower_base\cov_watchtower_base

and

scenarios\objects\covenant\military\cov_watchtower \cov_watchtower_pod\cov_watchtower_pod

Step 2

Add 2 chunks to the machinary reflex and 2 to the machinary pallette reflex in the scnr tag

- This can be done two way's(both work), then first way is to add the chunks using glitchy's chunk adder.
And the second way is to add the chunks the proper way(not recommended for beginners) using TheTyckoMan's tutorial which
can be found here: http://files.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=42442

- I will not going into how to use the chunk adder with this tut becouse there are many tuts already made for that

Step 3

- Now that you have added your chunks, its is time to spawn it

- Open your map u added the chunks to in dark matter and go to the scnr tag then open up the meta editor and go to the machinary pallette tab
- Once you are in that tab change chunk # ones depedancy to
scenarios\objects\covenant\military\cov_watchtower \cov_watchtower_base\cov_watchtower_base

and chunk number two's dependancy to
scenarios\objects\covenant\military\cov_watchtower \cov_watchtower_pod\cov_watchtower_pod

- Now click save changes in the bottom left

- Now go to the machinary tab and set chunk number ones machinary pallette's index to
0 - scenarios\objects\covenant\military\cov_watchtower \cov_watchtower_base\cov_watchtower_base
and chunk numbers two's machinary pallette's index to
1 - scenarios\objects\covenant\military\cov_watchtower \cov_watchtower_pod\cov_watchtower_pod

- Now go back to chunk number one and set its XYZ spawn points once those are set go to chunk number two and set its
XYZ spawn points to the exact same thing u set chunk number ones to, except for chunk number two's Z co-ordinate u need to set it
0.883 higher than what u set chunk number ones Z cordinate to

- Now click the save changes button agian and close the meta editor

Congratulations! You have now spawned a covie watchtower in another map, just resign your map, FTP, and play!
